Article Abstract
Originating from the basic chalcone structure, bis-chalcones are characterized by their dual ,-unsaturated carbonyl systems and carry a range of biological activities that include antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antioxidant, antiproliferative, and chemical reactivities that warrant a review to cover recent progress. Thus, this review presents the significant potential demonstrated by bis-chalcones in various biological applications. For example, compounds showed excellent antiparasitic activity against leishmania with good selectivity index, and compounds - showed submicromolar activity against SupT1 cells. Compound stood out in its antiproliferative activity against a panel of 60 different cell lines. Compounds and have been shown as submicromolar noncompetitive xanthine oxidase inhibitors. We also present their recent applications in material science, for example, as photosensitizers and photoinitiators, to showcase their broader potential for innovation in both medicinal chemistry and industrial applications.

The Skp2-Cks1 protein-protein interaction (PPI) within the SCF ubiquitin ligase acts as a co-receptor for phosphorylated CDK inhibitors-most prominently p27-relieving CDK inhibition and advancing the cell cycle, a dependency accentuated in RB-pathway-defective cancers. Crystallographic and cryo-EM analyses delineate a composite pocket formed by the Skp2 leucine-rich-repeat groove and the phosphate-recognition site of Cks1; Cks1-centered open-closed motions further influence druggability. Using HTRF/TR-FRET and AlphaScreen biochemistry, alongside cell-based target-engagement readouts in some studies, three small-molecule classes have emerged that disrupt this PPI: 1,3-diphenyl-pyrazines and triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (lead E35) with low-micromolar potency, and "Skp2E3LI" compounds with micromolar cellular activity.

Half-sandwich complexes of platinum-group metals are a widely studied subgroup of organometallic compounds with promising anticancer and antimicrobial properties. Recently, we have published a set of polyhapto arene/arenyl Ru(II), Os(II), Ir(III) and Rh(III) complexes with hetaryl-substituted 1-N-glucopyranosyl-1,2,3-triazole and C-glycopyranosyl-1,3,4- and -1,2,4-oxadiazole-type N,N-bidentate ligands, several of which exhibited (sub)micromolar antineoplastic and bacteriostatic potencies. The structure-activity relationships of these series indicated that the nature of the azole ring and its way of connection to the pyranoid sugar unit played crucial roles in the biological activity of such complexes.

Platinum-group metal half-sandwich complexes are considered to be potential replacements of the clinically widely used platins which have several side effects and tend to cause resistance to develop. In our previous works, we used a range of 2-pyridyl-substituted N- and C-glycosyl heterocycles as N,N-chelating ligands to prepare ruthenium(II), osmium(II), iridium(III) and rhodium(III) polyhapto arene/arenyl half-sandwich complexes. Some of these complexes, particularly with the C-glucopyranosyl isoxazole derived ligand in its O-perbenzoylated form, exhibited greater anticancer efficiency than cisplatin and had minimal or negligible effects on non-transformed fibroblasts.

PARP10 is a potential drug target due to its overexpression in several cancer types and its roles in DNA repair mechanisms and tumorigenesis. In this study, we performed an optimization campaign on our earlier compounds based on a 2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione scaffold which emerged with dual PARP10 and PARP15 inhibitory activity. The specific aim was to improve the potency and selectivity towards PARP10.

Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a major public health concern with limited therapeutic options and significant toxicity associated with current treatments. In this work, eight novel heteroleptic complexes of the type [M(L)(phen)], where M = Cu(II) or Zn(II), L = coumarin-thiosemicarbazone hybrid ligands, and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, were synthesized and fully characterized in the solid state and in solution. For comparison, some homoleptic [Cu(HL)₂], [Zn(HL)₂], and [CuCl(HL)] complexes were also prepared.
